This week we are leaning into multiple metaphors: AI as a mirror, UX design as a window or room, and life as information. Plus: read about Michael Levin's upcoming presentation at the Imagining Summit, Helen's Book of the Week, and our upcoming events.
It’s easy to fall prey to the design illusion that because LLMs look sleek, they must be well-designed. But aesthetics alone do not equal design. As Steve Jobs once said, “Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works.”
It’s curious that these two papers, tackling such similar ideas, came out at the same time. Is this coincidence, or does it tell us something about where the study of life and intelligence is heading?
The future of the extended mind is not a fixed destination but an ongoing journey that requires our active participation and reflection as we redefine what it means to be human in an age of artificial intelligence.
Segment by modularizing tasks with generative AI to make them more achievable. Part 4 in our How to Use Generative AI series.
Complex change recognizes that change is non-linear, emergent, and deeply interconnected with the system in which it occurs. This is even more important as we adapt to the complexity of generative AI.
AI's potential is vast but many applications remain incremental, simply grafting AI onto outdated frameworks. This is why we embrace complexity. We think about designing incentives, understanding self-organization and distributed control, and planning for emergence and adaptation.
Enterprises face a critical choice in their generative AI adoption strategy: fine-tuning or Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)? While fine-tuning has been the go-to approach for early adopters, a new study suggests that RAG may be the more powerful and sustainable path forward.
By enabling different AI models to 'speak' to each other and combine their strengths, CALM opens up new possibilities for solving complex problems across various domains and tackling tasks with expertise and precision, in a data and compute efficient way.
Artificiality Co-founders, Helen and Dave Edwards, will be speaking on Generative AI & Data Culture at the Starbucks Innovation Expo on May 14 & 15 in Seattle.
Artificiality Co-founders, Helen and Dave Edwards, will be attending the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego on April 14 and 15.
Our April research update for Artificiality Pro will be the State of AI and Complex Change Report: Q2 2024 Update.
